Implementation Of The Girls School Training Program to Achieve Dreams and Aspirations (SEKOPER CINTA) In The Manpower and Transmigration Service of West Java Province

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the vocational training program Sekoper Cinta (School for Women to Achieve Dreams and Aspirations), organized by the Department of Manpower and Transmigration of West Java Province. The program represents an effort to empower women through capacity building and skills development. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method, focusing on six implementation variables based on the theory of Van Meter and Van Horn: policy standards and objectives, resources, inter-organizational communication, characteristics of the implementers, socio-economic conditions of the participants, and the attitudes of the implementers. The findings show that the program implementation has been relatively effective, although several obstacles remain, such as limited resources and challenges in cross-sector communication. The program has positively contributed to improving participants’ skills and self-confidence; however, sustainability and post-training support are aspects that need strengthening. This study recommends enhancing coordination among stakeholders and developing a monitoring and evaluation system to ensure the program’s effectiveness and sustainability.
